So true. So, so true. I thought the first one was a waste of my time, really. This one i've actually finished, but it's even less complex than the first and keeps the same amount of stupidity though fixing a few blatantly broken mechanics.

So did Yahtzee review the 360/PS3 version this time or end up playing the Wii version again? Because I'm not the one to think that Yahtzee ever learns his lesson when it comes to these kinds of things.

Well... of course he is right about everything, like always, but I still consider this a fun casual game. I like mutilating stormtroopers now and then, and the practically nonexistent story makes it even easier to just jump in and out of the game for a quick fix.

I personally think the Legos are just about the only thing fun about Star Wars these days, although the Lucasfilm-based Legos do make me long for the days when Lego focused on their own original designs instead of solely on licensed IPs... Ah, the good old days of Magnetron, Blacktron, and the original Space Police.

Hell, I watched the original trilogy a few months back, and I remember thinking that (aside from Yoda's lines) most of the dialogue in that movie was only about two notches above prequel trilogy standards.

Although I would have added Jedi Knight II, the TIE Fighter PC game, and the Clone Wars cartoons (the ones made by the creators of Samurai Jack, not the all-CG ones) to the list of good Star Wars stuff, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I thought Force Unleashed was a pretty awesome concept, but it's hard to feel awesome about being having nifty powers if you never have any creative ways to use them.

All the Star Wars episodes,endless pile of books(That I haven't read), T.V. shows, Merchandise collectable toys that have not real collectable value, and anything else even slightly Star Wars related is Totally Awesome! Except for The Force Unleashed games of course. If they are gonna piss all over the cannon this badly we might a well be fighting Zombie, Nazi, Ninja, Wookie, Cyborgs that are on fire and fly around in a space gallion. That would be a little bit more interesting then plan old stromtroopers whom Harrison Ford could take out with a tiny "pew pew" laser pistol.

I absolutely loved the story and the game. It's extremely short yes but the amazing story and best looking graphics ever combined with a fun and great combat system makes this the best game I've played all year. And I've played New Vegas, Mass Effect 2, Fable III and Alpha Protocol among others....sorry I have no taste whatsoever for any shooter game ever.

Why was Tie Fighter and X-Wing not on the pile of "Good Stuff From Star Wars"? I mean, I know they're ancient history now, but those were some pretty enjoyable space flight combat simulators, even if it got sort of ridiculous in Tie Fighter in the end where you're something like Grand Fleet Admiral Of the Entire Empire and they're sticking you in a Tie Fighter.

More on topic: Played the first game for like thirty minutes after buying it when it was cheap during a Steam Sale. The game took approximately an entire day to download as it's something like 20 GB in size (wtf?). I don't mind the loss of the ten dollars, but I do wish I'd spent that day of downloading playing something fun online instead. I expected the sequel to not be any better, which Yahtzee's review seems to confirm.

I don't understand why 14 year old boys like Justin Bieber get some much criticism on these boards when George Lucas is a 60 year old man who has spent the last 30 years of his life shoving a totally shit franchise down our throats.

WILL STAR WARS NEVER DIE? There are like 4 million episodes of Star Trek and we hear fuck all from them except a movie every 5 years. With Star Wars, a franchise based on 2 decent films, we have a game, a movie, a dvd, a book, a comic released every damn week it seems.

Ashoten:If they are gonna piss all over the cannon this badly we might a well be fighting Zombie, Nazi, Ninja, Wookie, Cyborgs that are on fire and fly around in a space gallion.

Actually, that'd be an improvement compared to the stuff Star Wars is doing now.

No Black Ops? D'awww... anywho, can't say I care too much about this game. Just recently was given TFU1 (friend bought it for me for $6, because why not) and it doesn't seem too bad...then again I've put maybe an hour into it. Meh, never been too big of a star wars fan...the movies (all THREE of them) were all excellent (RotJ less so than the others, though) and like you said, KOTOR was, too. I'd also say the Battlefront, Republic Commando, and Jedi Knight games were all pretty good-great, too, but that's a matter of opinion. Star Wars is still alive for me, but that's really more because I refuse to acknowledge any of it that annoys me.

the only thing star wars related i am slightly interested in stays TOR. But this thing most likely won't come out before i leave the warm embrace of higher learning and actually have to work for money so fuck that

I wish I didn't....but I have to agree with pretty much every point he made.

Repetitive, unchallenging, and WAY too damn short.And just like Episode 2, if we cut out any inference of the annoying 'love interest' angle (yeah yeah...we get it.....you HAVE to find her)....I might have hated it less.

There was a few bright spots.....like grabbing a Tie Fighter out of the air and crushing it like a tin can. But even that got boring after a while.

Hopefully all Jedi in the new Star Wars MMO are as powerful as Starkiller here.....Cuz a couple of thousand of these demigods running around are gonna completely sink the franchise in the first week of launch.

Do you have to defend the prequel trilogy and all the other garbage Lucas has spewed out at us in the past decade to be a true Star Wars fan? Because I consider myself a fan and I hate over 90% of all Star Wars related media. I thought that's how it was for most fans. Live and learn.

As for The Force Unleashed, the first game was pretty fun even though the gameplay needed a lot of polish and the story was fucking retarded. I was hoping they'd make things work in TFU2 yet I've heard nothing but bad things about it. That's extremely disappointing.

I'm glad I decided to distance myself from Star Wars as a whole after Jedi Academy 1 & 2 (which I actually enjoyed, don't hurt me!), so I wouldn't have to deal with all of this on a personal level, but I still find myself amazed about just how much it has been milked. I'm strugling to even come close to anything else that has been milked this furiously, can you? OO

(Sigh) I'm sure I will be added to his list of people who he mocks and have no idea what they're talking about, but I love the books. Well, the ones that take place after Return of the Jedi anyway (that makes me a fan boy, doesn't it?). Invincible, the one he showed at the beginning, was one of my favorite ones of this "new generation."

This review was still hilarious though. Thank you for clearing up how someone who DIED at the end of the first game is suddenly alive and well. I was baffled by that, and since I refuse to play these games--or take two seconds to look it up on the internet--that bit of info was appreciated. Kind of shows how bad the writing can be in the Star Wars universe.

I have to disagree. Batman: The Animated Series was the best cartoon ever made.

OT: Why did you even subject yourself to this torture Yahtzee? I mean seriously, if you hated the first, it is a proven fact in the Star Wars universe that whatever comes after will only be a bucket of twice digested dog crap with fanboy packaging. Yes, I'm talking about the second "trilogy" that I wasted money on seeing. (I'm still mad at Lucas for that)

I don't know what games that have come out, but I played the demo for this, and I wish I'd have warned you to stay away from it. In the end though, I laughed anyways so your pain is my humor.

Yahtzee doesn't like RoTJ? Sure, it was overall the worst of the three, though the scenes in the throne room were some of the best in the trilogy, and the ewoks suck, but it's by no means a bad film overall.

Other than that I agree with everything he said about everything else star wars related beyond KoToR and the OT, being shit.
